By an alliance we would give the six British democracies six votes to our one, by Union we retain-a-elear majority of voting power. 10. Then this is not a_ British scheme to tie the U. S. to the tail of the British lion? Quite the contrary. It is an American plan, originated by an American newspaper man, Clarence K Streit) who saw the weakness of the League of Nations and the advantages of ~ federal union as exemplified in the U. S. A. 11. How would the Federal Union be oganized?

How would that work out in number of delegates? There would be 50 on that basis of which the U. S. would send 27, the United Kingdom 11, Canada and Australia 3 each, Hire, Union of South Africa and New Zealand, 2 each. 13 .Would the British, Irish and Canadians accept that? Didn’t Delaware and Connecticut accept smaller representation in our own Federal Union than New York or Pennsylvania? Like the United States, the proposed new Federal Union is planned as a union of free individualsrather than ‘of national or state units. 14. How would such a Union differ in effect from an Alliance or League? An alliance. or league is designed to keep each state absolutely sovereign, especially in matters of its relations. with other states. Thus, under our present agreement with Canada, she can go to ‘war without the consent of the United States, but by the terms of the alliance, we ‘are bound to come to her assistance, if she gets into trouble. 15. Couldn't we be as readily involved by Canada or one of the other democracies under the proposed Federal Union? No more than the Pennsylvania government can involve the rest of the American Union, or even its own people, in war without the united action of all the American states. In the proposed Federal Union of democracies no member nation or state could act separately on matters of war and other internationa relations, Neither the British nor the United States government could involve any part of the Union in war. 16. Then the British Government could not make a separate peace, if it were a member of such a Union? No; nor could it surrender its fleet. There would be no “British Fleet,” only a “Union Fleet,’’ just as there is no “New York Fleet” or “California Pleet’’ in our own Union. 17. Would American boys have to go to war if Japan attacked Australia? Yes; just as Ganadian and English boys would ‘have to go to war if Japan attacked California and boys from Maine now have to fight for the defense of Arizona. 18. What powers would thé Federal Union have other than war and peace? That would be up to the organizing Congress to peoples of all participating states to ratify. It is proposed that the Union government have the power to make every citizen of every participating nation a citizen of the Union; power to establish a uniform currency for the whole Uniproose and the on;-power to regulatecommerce between the several states; and, of course, power to defend the. Union or any part of it. Si 19. Wouldn’t that mean _ free trade between the _ constituent states? Precisely; just as we. have free trade between our 48 states now. 20. Would not that harm our industries and reduce our standards of living? It would do just the opposite. The standards of living of millions of consumers would rise from the expansion of markets and lower consumer prices for mass-produced goods, Transportation industries would revive and with them the capital goods industries behind them. Industrial unemployment would tend to disappear. Agricultural products of Union nations would have preference in Union markets. Consider what you have gained by being a part of the American Union, and you can imagine how much more you would gain by being a citizen of the larger Federal Union of Democracies. 21. What would those gains be for you as an individual citizen? Greater security from war in the long run. Greater protection from the worst depression’ the world has yet seen, which is bound to follow the present war. Safety from dictatorship. New frontiers of all kinds; wider opportunities for business and jobs; freedom to travel, work or seek work or to live and play in any part of an immensely greater area.

Snider, of the Tahoe national forest makes a total of fourteen ski tows on highway 40 between Emigrant Gap and Truckee, all in the national forest. The truckee outing clib is tinuing to do its share of good*work for skiers and general winter sports. Good skiers of the Truckee outing club will give lessons to those wistsing to learn to ski on February 2223, when the’ inter-scholastic ski con‘federation, composed of nine schools will hold their annual meet at Truckee. These lessons will be given on theTruckee winter sports grounds, adjoining the ski tow area. On February 8-9, Truckee will be the scene of the class B qualification meet in downhill and slalom skiing, in which members of the California ski federation will try for qualifications as entries in the state championship meet. The above try out will be held under the auspices of the . Truckee outing club. cessive taxation, of bureaucracy. Greater security for your savings and life insurance. Freedom to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest markets over a third of the earth’s surface. 22. But would not some American lose something if we joined the Union? Surely; but only those who already have to be helred or would not be competent to meet the competition in the Union, United States Senators would lose relative importance in the scheme of things, unless they were big enough to be elected to the Greater Senate of the Union. The biggest of them would gain a share in governing a third of the world. ‘Manufacturers who are not competent to run their business and sell even to their own people without tariff protection
would squawk, but the general run of citnzens would gain. 238. What about India, and other colonies? All territories not now self-governing would become dependencies of the Union. 24.

Any of them would be eligible for admission to the Union wWhenever the Union Congress was satis fied that its people understood and practiced democracy and when its inclusion would clearly strengthen rather than weaken’ the Union. 26. Where would the capital of the Union be? Probably on this side of the Atlantic, the exact place to be determined by the Union Congress, 27. Would the United States lose its national identity? No. Neither would any other state or nation. nor any citizen of any of them. The division of authority between the Union government and the component states woud be as carefully guarded as it is in the United States of America. 28.

It is printed as an annex to. the book “Union Now’, though merely as a suggested plan, modeled upon the Constitution of the United States. 29. Who is financing this and other propaganda for Federal Union? Thousands of American citizens whose names are on record at the State Department. No contributions have been accepted from non-Americans. We do not know nor care what the racial, religious or partisan background: of any contributor may be; the movement is neither Protestant, nor Cathoic, Christian nor Jewish. No ‘International banker’ has a finger in it. It is a movement by, of and for the common people. 80. Are similar campaigns under way in other nations? Yes.
